I went to a Halloween bar crawl but I just moved here and don’t know anybody so after I got a drink I was just standing by myself awkwardly so I left - 😅

Talk to people. It's hard and some will ignore you but nothing ventured nothing gained

I think I need to take a class or something it would be easier for me to talk to ppl not in a bar setting

Definitely take it slow! I think it helps having a friend who pushes you to talk to others. But like the other person said, the only way it'll ever get easier is by talking to more people and learning how to return the vibe and emotion that they give you!

When I’m with a friend , I’m the chatty one lol but when I’m by myself I just clam up idk I still have the wristband on so I think I might try again

SilverLengthy t1_iub9nbz wrote

How much was the wristband btw? I say go for it! I'm the same way, where if I'm with a friend or agreeing to meet someone at a bar beforehand, I'm super talkative, but the idea of approaching others just scares me to death sometimes. The more I drink, the more I open up tho

key is just get yourself out there, but yeah, if you figure out something you like doing you are more likely to have stuff in common with the people you meet.

But you do need to get out there, no one will come to you. And it's hard out of college

Yeah why was it so easy making friends at 20? Lol perhaps because more drinking was done at 20 🤣 I’m going to a paint and sip next weekend , I think it’ll be more my speed :) wish me luck hahaha

you can do it!

It'll suck, of course, but eventually you'll get past it. Where as if you don't try it'll keep sucking. Cheery thought eh?

I was someplace by myself last night and a nice person came over and asked if they could sit with me since they were also there alone. We ended up having a great conversation and waved over another person who was there alone who joined us. It always helps to just go for it. If you pick the wrong person or it’s awkward, move on. I was so happy to have someone come chat to me and grateful they had the courage. What’s the quote, you miss all the shots you don’t take? I find Richmond people to be pretty friendly in general.

That's exactly why I didn't go to one lol. I'm already such an odd cat and going to a social event based on drinking in groups sounded fun but I just couldn't get myself to do it

I've been taking Viagra for my sunburn. It doesn't cure it, but it keeps the sheets off my legs at night.

I quit the job I was bitching about a few days ago in the daily thread with no new job lined up but I still feel so relieved. My last day is tomorrow 🥳

Beaming over the fact that our porch kitty (posted in one of the dailies earlier this week) has been adopted by a lovely fellow Redditor. Her new name is Emma. And was WAY easier to get into a crate than any of our resident kitties, and our resident kitties have been informed of this fact. Wishing Emma and her new human many years of wonderful memories.

Dived for the remote to not hear the announcer voice a second after the whistle - that’s healthy right?

Sicker than hell, way worse than I felt with the covaids. Gonna keep an eye on r/boxing and see what happens with Silva vs Paul.

Do you have the nasty cold or flu or whatever it is? Took 10 days three of them were bad just lay on the couch

Idk it started with my kids and has hung on for awhile already. They tested negative for covid and influenza though. 10/10 would not recommend

I understand some nasty stuff is going around and I can just say that each of my kids is the superest spreader of all diseases.

Painting some old kitchen cabinets, listening to WNRN, WRIR, and flipping records too.

WNRN is my favorite! Evergreen member here. Did you happen to catch Les Temps Perdue? One of my favorite times of the week!

wrenster00 t1_iued3l9 wrote

Nope, but I looked the show up and that sounds like my kinda jam. Will try to catch it

Oh yes, it’s on Sundays at either noon or 1. Sorry, I was thinking it was Sunday yesterday.

Yo but that first goal by the kickers definitely went in the goal. Should have been tied at the end - minimum

I knew that lost (stolen) opportunity for a penalty kick would haunt us…

I just wish we'd managed to create more chances in the second half. Props to Chattanooga for closing down in the box I guess, but hard not to feel robbed by the bad calls at the beginning

Cocktails, World Series and carving pumpkins. Repotting a house plant. And waiting for teenagers to get home safely. This is adulting in the burbs.

Treated myself to a nice walk and ended it by ordering Cane’s at VCU. The lines are just as long as I always remembered, unsurprisingly. Still worth it though!

Why are police directing traffic at Broad and Harrison I wonder?

They had/have a food truck at the UVa Grounds and it was always a line around the block. Was glad to see them popping up here.

I was wondering if you were basketball but was thinking for some reason it was too early.

Charles, my guy, I pretty much detest and disagree with 98.7 percent of the things you say on here but I want to thank you for your consistency because those are just about the most powerfully mediocre dumplings in the metro area. We all serve a purpose and I salute yours.

Tylenol. And all i did was run errands today.

Waiting for the game to start and hoping last night's result will stop all the "Astros are unbeatable and the best team ever" sentiment. Go Phils.
